    White volunteers at Art Institute of Chicago are FIRED

    White volunteers at Art Institute of Chicago are FIRED

    Why fire qualified and knowledgeable people that don't cost anything? Just hire qualified people of color to replace those Volunteers as they quit?

    White volunteers at Art Institute of Chicago are FIRED after woke consulting firm advised bosses to prioritize 'equity and diversity'

    The 100 volunteers were part of the Art Institute of Chicago's docent program. A docent is a guide or educator who often provides tours at museums

    The program was largely unpaid and on a volunteer basis. It is possible that, should it return, the program will allow for paid docents

    The museum hired a Colorado-based consulting firm that called The Equity Project that told them the program was outdated

    The Equity Project said the program would often skew towards wealthy white women and had too many barriers preventing people of color from entry

    The museum told USA Today that the pause is part of a 'multi-year transition' to a 'hybrid model that incorporates paid and volunteer educators'

      Subtext: no place is safe from them, even the art museums.

      Maybe the "wealthy white women" can donate their time at a animal shelter or something.

        maybe,

        but the wealthy white women's family probably provide funding in some ways,,

        wonder if that will be diverted to those animal shelters too

            I confess I'm not as up on or into the Chicago art scene as you and Ray, but somehow I figure they'll find ways to keep their patrons properly stroked.

              the idea in the business world is to not piss off your customers, hire good folks, and treat them well,

              even in the volunteer/museum world (which is basically a business)

              seems they are failing at that
